We're coming off of vacation and back to work we all go! We vacationed in Orlando for a week prior to Christmas and this ranks as one of my favorite vacations ever. We enjoyed both Disney & Universal, some time together as a couple celebrating our one year wedding anniversary, and time with our family as well. This really was the ultimate vacation full of all the things we love!
I start school again on Jan 9th and until then I'm enjoying some leisure reading. I'm currently reading Unbroken by Lauren Hillenbrand, and after that will be moving onto Sheri's book, Hear My Heart, which I should have read by now! I had started When God Winks and Unbroken midterm of last semester, so I figure I better finish them before moving onto more. My list of "to-reads" just keeps getting longer and longer. Hopefully my classes will be less vigorous this time around and I won't really have to take a break from my leisures... meaning that maybe this year I won't fail at my annual book reading goal like I did for 2011. It's ok, good grades and education were worth the sacrifice.
I've made my New Years Resolutions list for 2012 and extended it from my normal 10 goals to 11. Part of that list involves giving back even more. This year I'm aiming for our group, Making A Difference, to double the amount of rice grains donated in 2011. Our totals for '11 were 301540 meaning that our goal for '12 is 603,080.

About a month ago I decide to try Tumblr, but have since decided that it isn't for me. I either have a little to say (Twitter) or a lot (this blog), and there really isn't an in between. I've grown very fond of Goodreads, and Instagram though. I'll include those links below if you care to follow.

Just thinking.. I've heard the quote that goes something like "You are often your own problem, but you're also your solution". I've been thinking about this lately and I love that this quote is two fold. It's hard sometimes to accept that we can be our own problem, but the second half of that, "you're also your own solution" is so empowering. Believing that we are our own problem can be difficult, but knowing that we have the power to fix it makes it so much easier to hear! So take it to heart and take control!
Just a small disclaimer, in rereading some of my previous posts, I have noticed countless errors. Please know that when I feel the inspiration to blog I do proof read, but being too close to the material and to anxious to get it out there (to post it), I make mistakes. I'm human and I'm fallible. I'm going to go ahead and apologize for those mistakes now, and I'm going to do my best to make less in future!
Before I end this, I want to thank all of you who read my blog. I keep it because I enjoy writing. Knowing that I have a few followers makes writing feel rewarding. So thank you, thank you, thank you!
Oh, and thank you!!!
I hope this year brings you all abundant blessings!
